What gave you that idea? When I first joined, I found the users of this forum the most friendly i've ever experienced, and I still see that every time I log in, helping other users more than I see in any other forum, regardless of how long they have been a member.

You are quite wrong about that...this is one of the most welcoming photo forums you can find. If there is a problem going on, you may PM me or another moderator, we'd be happy to do whatever we can to help out.

Oh well ... who can be helped that decided this was an unfriendly forum? *shakes head* ... I am only seeing you for the first time here, pixinymph and you already have left ... after you had joined a mere four hours ago.
Not even the friendliest forum can bring about MIRACLES, and some people (at least sometimes) have lives next to this forum. (Even myself, lo and behold ).

You were totally wrong about TPF. I am introduced to this forum just a month before and am already ahead with more than 100 posts and getting so many more in replies. Friendliness in this forum makes me come back to this forum every hour to know what is happening. Most friendly and adorable forum indeed. There are old folk to make you learn photography, yound to make you merry. Please go for another try, just make yourself comfortable and enjoy.
Wishing you the best.
